Electro-Acoustic Guitars - An essential for live and studio

Electro-acoustic guitars are fitted with a pickup with is immensely handy when performing live. A conventional type of pickup is the piezo electric which relies on its own battery power supply, housed in a pre-amp usually located on the side of the guitar. This type of guitar is ideal for live performance as well as the studio!

Electro-Acoustics - Best of both worlds

This type of guitar offers the best of both worlds - you can play them unplugged just like any ordinary acoustic, or plug it to a P.A. system or acoustic guitar amp when performing live. Unlike traditional acoustics, they often have a cutaway design, which gives the player easier access to the upper frets.

The pre-amp section usually has a built-in volume control often with an EQ to bring out the tone of the guitar. Body shapes include jumbo, parlour, dreadnought and are available as 12-string options. We’ve got you covered with all kinds of electro acoustics here at PMT. We also stock many left-handed models.

Differences between Electro-Acoustic and Semi-Acoustic

It's important to notice that Electro-Acoustics and Semi-Acoustics are two different beasts altogether. Semi-Acoustic guitars are in fact electric guitars - with a hollow or semi-hollow body for more acoustic resonance, but which still require to be plugged. An Electro-Acoustic guitar is first and foremost an acoustic guitar like any other and can be played unplugged, but they happen to also come equipped, as we mentioned previously, with a pickup system so they can be plugged into PA or amp if needs be.
